I am a single mom to a 6year old and a soon to be 3year old. I am working and attempting to go to school. I say attemptig because it is very challenging. Its hard to balance work, school, and kids. Work is important because you need money to live, school because I am trying to improve myself-career wise, and kids are always number one.  I do not get help from dad, he is not around. I left him while I was carrying second child.  It is hard when you are the only one. I am pulled in many directions.
